About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

i'm blogging because stupid american idol cancelled my simpsons show. damn.i was really looking forward to it today.. just came back from cello lesson. was horrible as usual, but at least there was clear improvement in uh, everything.. i was so tired in the bus, i slept. that was really one of the longest rides from school to home ever. i was listening to my music, and each song seemed to last at least ten minutes.. i need to keep awake for my a-maths lesson a lil later.
aw..
i do care what the world thinks of me. thats why i feel that it is important to explain a few things about my previous post. i hope that people actually notice that i use the words "most" quite a few times. "most", from my knowledge, is not the same as "all". also, i stand by what i said that
I THINK that many girls would have great difficulties doing chin-ups. the ones where we start of standing, and have to pull ourselves up till our chins are above the bar. again, i didn't say that all girls were incapable of that. i'm just quite shocked that the passing criteria for girls is so low, counting that i've been around girls who had always, and are still fitter than me since young.
anyways.. yesterday i went to the doctors to get that nasty blister washed up. firstly, some history on this blister. it was right on the skin above my toenail.. a weird place to even get a blister i would say. but it sure did look like one. that was 1 month ago.in the past month, the blister did burst.. but it seemed to recover well. until yesterday after playing soccer. it burst again. and bled. it wasn't much bleeding.. but as i was wearing my old street soccer shoes.. which i think many people would understand.. that those shoes, in contact with water would allow that water to permeate to my feet. PLUS.. i'm sure many classmates saw those "holy" socks i was wearing. anyway..i was pretty sure that it would be infected.. so i played it safe and went to the doctors'. and at the same time, get some medicine for my stomach whose been acting weirdly.. anyway.. the diagnosis was an in-grown toenail. i didn't know what that was, but conrad told me that it was nasty. when i went to school in slippers (which i have a 14 day timespan to do so), i heard stories that in-grown toenails required surgery to fix. especially from ming en.. he really said surgery was necessary.. but of course he said that in some cases, it would heal naturally. lets just pray that i'm lucky. again.
honestly, its not about the pain that makes me dread any kind of surgical operation. i'm not saying i'm not scared of pain.
I AM. when i play soccer, i am fearful that the ball really hits me hard, which of course happened that day.(i just had to stand in front of the free kick..) i am also quite ashamed to admit that i am still quite afraid of heading the ball. although i am slowing getting over this fear. however.. to put opponents off. i do run towards the ball alot, and never back off unless necessary. also.. i've become quite rough while playing.. learning to slide, collide into people and tussle and to lean on people to my advantage. i've also learnt to swivel past people, getting the ball past my opponents even before i'd touch it. but of course right now.. what reallys f**** my game up is my shooting.. just last week, i was still quite deadly. now.. i keep on blasting the ball as if i'm taking a goal kick. that realyl sucks. i'm desperately in need of inspiration to play..
anyway.. back to surgery.. what i'm really scared off is the long lay-off from soccer. soccer is the path way to my uh, everything. its really one of the biggest part of my life. i don't think i can stay off my feet for long. remember last year? i had that knee injury that came so close to my ACL tearing? the doctors from the hospital told me to lay off soccer for 3 months. nicely and obediently, i played soccer at the basket ball court with my friends the following day. after 2 months, the injury became worst and i went for another check. luckily god was merciful and spared any sort of surgery. phew. but of course, being leon yip y y, i was back on my feet and kicking balls by the next week. THATS ME. can't change it. never tried, never will try. i'm kinda stubborn in that way haha.
maybe i should have had fallen sick last year at the begining of june. then i would not have those thoughts or done those things which i would surely live to regret.
(p.s. the injury last year, which i sustained in march still bugs me till this day.)
(p.ss Mr Chia said i can do standing broad jump again after my 2.4! and although i slipped twice, i still managed 10.1 for shuttle run for 5 points! Yayeah!)
